{"doi":"10.1037/ccp0000740","title":"Results from “Developing Real Incentives and Volition for Exercise” (DRIVE): A pilot randomized controlled trial for promoting physical activity in African American women.","abstract":"OBJECTIVE: Motivation is a barrier to physical activity (PA) among African American (AA) women, but past studies have implemented a \"one-size-fits-all\" approach and have not addressed differences in autonomous motivation. This pilot randomized controlled trial assessed the preliminary efficacy of \"Developing Real Incentives and Volition for Exercise,\" a community- and theory-based intervention, which evaluated whether a motivationally matched (vs. a nonmatched) intervention increases daily total PA. METHOD: In total, 68 AA women (50.72 ± 13.66 years; 86.8% with obesity) were randomized to an 8-week challenge-focused program (targeted toward high autonomous motivation) or rewards-focused program (targeted toward low autonomous motivation). Randomization was stratified by baseline autonomous motivation. FitBits were used during the intervention to promote self-monitoring (both programs) and social connectedness (challenge program only). RESULTS: Both programs retained ≥ 80% of participants. Process evaluation revealed high attendance, dose, and fidelity (both programs). However, contrary to expectations, across all motivational levels (low and high autonomous), the challenge-focused intervention resulted in a greater increase in total daily PA (primary outcome), with an average increase of 17.9 min in the challenge-focused intervention versus an average decrease of 8.55 min in the rewards-focused intervention. An exploratory follow-up analysis revealed that engagement with the FitBit mobile app predicted greater PA at postintervention in the challenge-focused program. CONCLUSIONS: A team-based approach targeting social connectedness, enjoyment of PA, and positive intragroup competition is a promising approach for promoting PA among AA women. These findings are used to guide a discussion on best practices for engaging AA women in future behavioral interventions.
